Ikea kitchens 2018: The UDDEVALLA doors with chalkboard surface
With the UDDEVALLA door, Ikea has finally joined the chalkboard paint trend. The front is covered with recycled PET plastic and a film, which allows you to draw and write with chalk on the surface. Only with MÅLA chalk, of course. The chalk can then simply be wiped off with a damp cloth.
UBBALT door in taupe
The new UBBALT door impresses with its moisture- and stain-repellent film surface and silky matt color. Taupe has made its way through all fashion and beauty sectors and is also very popular in interior design. The trendy color creates a modern yet reserved atmosphere and also cuts a fine figure in the kitchen.
JORMLIEN LED door with remote control
In 2015 IKEA has theDesign collection with wireless charging functionpresented. In October 2016, the Ikea furniture group continued its journey towards the smart home and introduced a new smart lighting collection. These are LED bulbs, LED light panels and doors with LED lighting. This year, the Swedish furniture manufacturer is impressing with LED light doors for the kitchen. The light intensity can be controlled wirelessly and adapted to the respective activity. For a romantic dinner, for example, you would dim the lights.
New knobs and handles: ENERYDA and BAGGANÄS
The furniture handles play a crucial role in the overall picture. For this reason, Ikea is also launching a new selection of kitchen handles and knobs. The new BAGGANÄS and ENERYDA knobs and handles are a real eye-catcher in every kitchen interior!
*You can also see the new RÅSKOG bar stool in the picture above.
Handles and knobs in brass colors
Both series are available in black and brass colors. The ENERYDA models are also available in chrome, while the BAGGANÄS are available in stainless steel. So everyone can find the version that they like and fit best.
BAGGANÄS buttons can be used in different ways
There is also something interesting about the BAGGANÄS and the ENERYDA buttons. Each color is characterized by a different button shape. The ENERYDA recessed handles are also extremely practical and fit well in the hand.
Brass handles in combination with BODBYN fronts in light gray
ÖSTERNÄS Ledergriffe
The designers from the furniture company probably took inspiration for this product from the numerous bloggers who have used leather strapsuseful shelf brackets and cabinet handlesto produce. The result: the ÖSTERNÄS leather handles. They are made from tanned leather, environmentally friendly and free of harmful substances.
Currently the ÖSTERNÄS handles are only available in light leather. However, after treatment with ABSORB leather care, the leather will darken. The stainless steel elements complete the look perfectly.
GUBBARP handle
The GUBBARP handles are made from reclaimed plastic. They appear particularly attractive not only because of their sustainable concept, but also because of their low price. The GUBBARP buttons and handles are incredibly cheap: the set (two pieces) only costs 0.50 euros.
PINNARP worktop
Another environmentally friendly product that Ikea has introduced is the PINNARP worktop. It is made of chipboard with a 3 mm thick layer of solid ash and fascinates with a subtle grain and a friendly light color. The worktop looks particularly beautiful in combination with matt black fronts and the ÖSTERNÄS leather handles.
ÄLMAREN mixer tap
The ÄLMAREN mixer tap has an aerator for lower water flow, saving water and energy. The pull-out tap is also practical, making it easier to wash dishes. The stainless steel surface is very robust and easy to clean.
The SUNNERSTA mini kitchen
The Sunnersta series was introduced last year and has enjoyed increasing popularity ever since. It consists of a shelf-like construction with a built-in sink. In the 2018 catalog it is shown that there is space for the portable induction hob and the small refrigerator from the TILLREDA series. Perfect solution for a small budget!
Further innovations in the 2018 catalog: STORHET champagne bowl
The Storchet champagne bowl brings elegance to every table and makes the occasion on which the champagne is served even more noble. You can also put it in the bowlsDesserts and fruit saladsServe in style. But the bowl is also ideal for cocktails. A sugar rim on the cocktail glass has an impact on the taste, but above all it rounds off your drinks visually.
ADDITIONAL Cutlery
Another highlight of the new Ikea catalog is the Tillagd cutlery. Whether black or brass, the 24-piece set brings that certain something to the table. The stylish cutlery fits modern and traditional tableware and exudes a feeling of luxury. The best part: it's also dishwasher safe.
PRISTELLA serving tray with floral print
These beautiful flowers look as if they were painted. The bright colors stand out even better against the black background. The floral design fits perfectly with the current vintage trend, but still looks very modern. This means you can serve afternoon coffee or tea in style, as well as offer guests unusual drinks and finger food.
